Yet Another 56K Ultra Weekend: Manila To Tagaytay Sequel

Posted by runningpinoy on

It was a race-less weekend last Sunday so what else does a runner do but to find an interesting run. An ultramarathon distance route isn’t exactly a prerequisite but in order to share that ultramarathon experience I decided to join my friends at their first attempt at an ultra—where else but in the same route that we took about three months ago—Luneta (Km 0) to Tagaytay (Km 56).

Part 1: Luneta (Km 0) to Dasmariñas, Cavite
(approx. Km 30) in Pictures

The gang meeting near Km 0 just before midnight
The brave ones who opted to start from Km 0
Finally I had a chance to get a picture with this babe
One last picture before heading off…
About half an hour after midnight, ready, set…
…56K here we go!
Our Km 0 support vehicle
Running along Roxas Blvd.
The first “pic-stop” midway along Roxas Blvd.
Second stop before running parallel to Coastal Road
Third stop, finally in Bacoor, Cavite for some carbo-loading
Another stop at a gas station to regroup…
…and have some pictures taken
Entering Dasmariñas, Cavite…
Finally by stroke of daylight we were joined by “fresh legs,” still in Dasmariñas

About halfway through our ultra-runabout more runners joined the pack as well as another support vehicle. The good thing about this leg was that you’re sure of company because of the number of runners in the group. Unfortunately everything goes uphill from here, literally, so the “real” challenge was just about to begin.
